Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly
100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five
centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various
off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The
story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along
with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues
with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Panel 1
Kāng and Cooper
Kāng: I noticed your boy Bolivar Clark in the corner of that video.
Cooper: He’s not ‘my boy,’ but he is a friend of Alyss Roaz, and seems like a bom jovem.
Kāng: And that Jerome Falstaff there with him? Is he a ‘bom jovem?’
Panel 2
Kāng and Cooper.
Kāng: His newstreams have stirred up dissention, making things more difficult for us.
Cooper: Yeah, he’s a royal pain in the ass.
Cooper: I mean, literally. He’s descended from an old, collapsed monarchy. Hollywood.
Panel 3
Kāng and Cooper.
Kāng: Could Falstaff be working for the enemy?
Cooper: He’s never shown any sympathy for the other side. He mostly second-guesses everything we do to stop the bombings.
Kāng: What worries me is how much he and Clark spend time together..
Panel 4
Kāng and Cooper.
Cooper: Professional camaraderie, I suppose. Or friendship? I doubt it’s sexual.
Kāng: Clark’s connection with Senhora Roaz is what I’m thinking about. There’s a danger.
Cooper: You wanna bring this up with Roaz? Talk about danger.
